Pemanfaatan Sekam Padi dan Limbah Teh Sebagai Bahan Briket Arang dengan Perekat Tetes Tebu

Abstract

AHMAD RIFAI “Utilization of rice husk and tea wast as charcoal briquettes with adhesive cane”. Supervised by LUKMAN ADLIN HARAHAP dan SULASTRI PANGGABEAN. Briquette is one of the biomass fuel. Briquette used as alternative energy sources which are very simple and inexpensive. Biomass used in this research were rice husk and waste tea. The aim of this research to find how Bio-Carbon Briquette processing of rice husk and waste tea with variation in composition and to determine the best Bio Carbon Briquette between rice husk and mixing of waste tea against of the quality briquette produced. Testing was conducted using a non-factorial completely randomized disign with water content, density, firmness press, calorific value, and ash content. The result of this research showed that composition of the briquette materials highly significantly unaffected the water content and highly significantly effected against density, firmness press, calorific value, and ash content. The average of water content in this research is 6,72% that meet Japane standard. Amerika and Indonesia do not meet standard. of briquette made in England. Density value is 0,68 gr/cm3 which meet standard of briquette made in Japan and Amerika, but did not meet standard of briquette made in England and Indonesia. Firmness press, calorific value, and ash content did not meet standard of briquette made in Japan, Amerika, and Indonesia with an average value in sequence are 1.71 kg/cm2 , 4400.97 kal/gr and 15.00%.
